Considerations for Home Office Window Treatments

Give your home office a promotion with custom window treatments. If you work remotely, you know how important it is to have a dedicated workspace conducive to comfort and productivity. It’s hard to focus if sunlight is causing a glare on your computer screen or heating up the room to an uncomfortable temperature. Distractions outside your window may make it difficult to concentrate on the task at hand. Our custom window treatments can solve these common issues and more. Here’s how. 

Optimize & Control Natural Light 

Natural light can boost productivity and creativity but can also cause frustrating glares on your screens. To control natural light in your office, choose shades that offer flexible light control. Consider options like top-down bottom-up treatments, dual shades, or sheer shades that can transform harsh sunlight into an ambient glow. 

Tend to work late into the office? Silhouette and Pirouette shades can help you enjoy natural light for longer through a process called “daylighting”. This process draws natural light deep into a room and reduces the need for artificial lighting. 

Regulate Temperature 

Do drafty windows cause your office to stay cold in the winter? Does harsh sunlight cause it to heat up too hot in the summer? Energy-efficient shades can help keep your space warmer in winter and cooler in summer for a cozier workspace year-round. 

Maximize Privacy & Minimize Distractions 

Many home offices are located at the front of the home, making it easy for passerbys to see into your workspace. It also puts distractions straight into your sightlines. If you find yourself gazing out the window at passing cars or looking up from your computer every time a package is delivered, it might be time for shades that can minimize privacy and maximize distractions. 

Create a Professional Background

If Zoom calls with clients and coworkers are a common part of your workweek, shades are a must. A poorly-lit room can cause all kinds of problems. Too much natural light will wash you out or turn you into an indistinguishable silhouette if coming from behind. Not enough light can cause large shadows and make it hard for your audience to see you. Put your best face forward with shades that will cast you in the best light.

Custom shades also create a professional background. Add a textured backdrop with woven shades or soften up your background with Luminette Privacy Sheers.
